No the firewire headers are in a different place, there's two of them
and the pinout looks slightly different to me.  Each USB header has
two USB ports.  The board has four USB sockets at the rear and three
two-port USB headers.  The only USB header that appears to work is the
'first' one (they're numbered USB1, USB2 and USB3).  I was only
checking by looking at the little light on the memory stick so it
*might* be that the USB2 and USB3 headers are unpowered rather than
not working.  Anyway it doesn't matter in the slightest, I have no
possible use for so many USB ports.  The motherboard manual doesn't
say anything about USB2 and USB3 not being powered though.
